Brave Android Browser

Building the Browser

System Requirements

  • OS Linux, Ubuntu (14.04 - 17.04) is completely supported. Other distros may or may not work
  • Make sure you have enough swapspace available
  • yarn (including Node, it is required for ubuntu 17.04 as well)
  • ninja

Preparing the Build Environment

  1. Clone Chromium's depot_tools repository:

    git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

  2. Add the absolute path of the cloned directory to the end of your PATH variable (You may want to put this in ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.). Assuming you cloned depot_tools to /path/to/depot_tools:

    export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/depot_tools

  3. Create a browser-android-tabs parent directory:

    mkdir browser-android-tabs

  4. Switch to the directory you just created:

    cd browser-android-tabs

  5. Clone the repository to the src subdirectory:

    git clone https://github.com/brave/browser-android-tabs.git src

  6. Switch to the directory you just cloned:

    cd src

  7. Execute the scripts/getThirdParties.js script:

    sh scripts/getThirdParties.js

  8. Enter information as requested by the script. When asked to create a file for arguments, use this gn file.

Making the Build

    ninja -C out/DefaultR chrome_public_apk

  4. Sign apk using these steps.

Release (x86)

  1. Create configuration in a new folder:

    gn args out/Defaultx86

  2. Set these settings in args.gn file.
